Information boards solve parking woe
Print Edition
JIADING plans to set up 34 electronic information boards to help solving parking problems for drivers.
With the increasing number of cars in recent years, there is a huge gap between the number of cars and parking spaces in Jiading, especially in the Jiading Old Town area. As drivers have no idea where there are parking spaces, they spend time driving around looking for one, which adds to the traffic congestion.
For example, there are often traffic jams around Jiading Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital even though there may be a number of spaces in nearby parking lots.
Electronic boards with parking information from six parking lots will be set up at main roads leading in and out of the downtown area. Boards with parking information from four parking lots will be set up along main roads inside the downtown area. Others will be set up in front of individual parking lots.
A plan has been compiled that covers Jiading Old Town.
“So far the positions of the 34 parking information electronic boards have been set, and construction is expected to be completed by the end of July,” an official with the Jiading construction administration said.
By taking note of the boards, drivers can find their way to vacant parking spaces and know just how many are available.
The information will be shared with Shanghai’s municipal parking information platform so that drivers from other parts of the city can also search for parking information in Jiading Old Town. The system is expected to be expanded to Jiading New Town, Anting and Nanxiang.
